The 2024/25 season may have just come to a conclusion for Tottenham but it will not be too long until the players return for pre-season training. As Sunday marks the start of June, Ange Postecoglou’s squad will have a month off before returning to Hotspur Way in early July.
It remains to be seen if Postecoglou will be the man overseeing pre-season training amid so much speculation regarding his future at present. After winning their first piece of silverware in 17 years, it is a big summer for the football club as they look to take the next step and compete for major honours on a regular basis.
New signings are required and some members of the current first-team squad will head for pastures new. Tottenham confirmed on Saturday morning that Fraser Forster, Alfie Whiteman and Sergio Reguilon will all exit at the end of their contracts, with Timo Werner returning to parent club RB Leipzig.
Tottenham’s Premier League schedule for the 2025/26 season will all become clear at 9am on Wednesday, June 18 when next campaign’s fixtures are released. Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland will be new opponents for Tottenham next term following their promotion from the Championship.
Before the new league season commences on Friday, August 15, Spurs will play a number of friendly games as part of their pre-season training. Tottenham have three friendlies in the calendar already and there is also the UEFA Super Cup to look forward to on Wednesday, August 13 as a result of the team winning the Europa League.
So what does Tottenham’s pre-season schedule look like right now? football.london takes a look below.
Thursday, July 31 – Tottenham vs Arsenal (Kai Tak Stadium, Hong Kong)
First up for Tottenham in pre-season is a North London Derby showdown against Arsenal in Hong Kong. It is the first clash between the sides to take place outside of the UK.
On the announcement of the game, Ryan Norys, Tottenham’s chief revenue officer, told the club’s official website: “There are few bigger occasions in English football than a North London Derby and to play this fixture in Hong Kong will be a huge occasion for our passionate fanbase across Asia, as well as providing ideal preparation for the team ahead of the new season
“As is tour tradition, the club will be involved in so much more than the match itself when we visit, supporting charitable causes, celebrating local culture, delivering football clinics for young people and engaging with fans and partners. We cannot wait to visit such a beautiful place once again.”
Tottenham do have plenty of space in the calendar before departing for their pre-season tour of Asia, meaning a friendly game or two could possibly be added to their schedule before the Arsenal showdown in Hong Kong. Last season, Spurs played Hearts and QPR before taking on Vissel Kobe in Tokyo.
TBC – Tottenham vs Newcastle (South Korea)
Tottenham will take on fellow Premier League side Newcastle United in South Korea as part of the 2025 Coupang Play Series. A date, time and venue still need to be confirmed for the friendly match.
Newcastle’s first friendly of the summer comes against Arsenal in Singapore on Sunday, July 27.
Thursday, August 7 – Bayern Munich vs Tottenham (Allianz Arena, Munich)
Tottenham will face Harry Kane and Bayern Munich once again in pre-season after coming up against the German side twice last summer. The first match took place in South Korea before the sides met again at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium a week later.
This time the 2025 Telekom Cup game will be at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Kick-off at the Allianz Arena is 6.30pm on Thursday, August 7.
Wednesday, August 13 – Inter Milan/PSG vs Tottenham (Stadio Friuli, Udine)
Tottenham’s final match ahead of the new Premier League season sees them face either Inter Milan or PSG in the UEFA Super Cup final. Spurs’ opponents will become clear on Saturday evening as they will play the winner of this year’s Champions League final.
The game gives the Lilywhites the chance to quickly win another piece of silverware following their Europa League triumph. Stadio Friuli – home of Serie A side Udinese – in Udine, Italy is the venue for this year’s final.
